I was wondering if there was a way after the os is installed and without using the gui to "ADD Features" that I could script an install of SNMP.

I already have a reg file with the settings but I need to find a way to install the components as well with no user interaction.

Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?

Thanks.

I don't know if 2008 will be similar or not, but on 2003 you could create a text file that was sort of like an unattended install. You then remotely execute sysocmgr with parameters to point to that text file.

* I just did a quick search and found this updated information for 2008: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766272.aspx

For example: If u wanna do it from batch, then have a .cmd file executing the servermanagercmd.exe file with some parameters, pointing onto an .xml file which contains the component name....

The xml would look something like this one...

<ServerManagerConfiguration Action="Install" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sdm/Windows/ServerManager/Configuration/2007/1">

<Feature Id="SNMP-Service" />

</ServerManagerConfiguration>

Run either servermangercmd.exe or ocsetup.exe to install SNMP after Win2008 is installed... or by an unattend as described above.

Good luck...
